Trinet News Shashi Mohana Kanthi Kiranam.. No matter how high you rise, looking down should not be forgotten. Success in every matter and a high position are what everyone desires in human life. For that, continuous hard work and unwavering determination are very essential. But sometimes success brings arrogance. A man forgets the path he came from and the people responsible for his growth. That is a terrible mistake. No matter how much a person grows, they should not forget the level they came from. They must remember the first step they climbed. Growth is in status, position, and wealth. In God's creation, no one knows whose status will change how. Ships become carts, and carts become ships. Elders often say, "No matter how high you rise, you should not forget to look down." This is not just a proverb; it is a live mirror of a person's culture and noble personality.
Here, looking down does not mean looking down upon someone or mocking them. That person should remember the past from which their journey began. It is very essential to cherish those who are backward in society, the very poor, those in trouble, and to remember where one came from. There is no doubt that today's king is tomorrow's servant. The Ramayana and Mahabharata are standards for that. Even God himself could not escape hardships in both incarnations. Even the Pandavas, who had Lord Krishna's support, could not escape the hardships of living in the forest and spent a year in servitude. Sri Krishnadevaraya also lived as an ordinary man until he ascended the throne. There are many such people. Those who become arrogant thinking "What about me, who am I?" will never prosper. Those who realize "Who am I" achieve fulfillment in life. Whatever we are experiencing today, they are all the results of past life karma. Whether good or bad, anything at all.
Behind every person who rises in life, there is the effort of many people, directly or indirectly. Just because they have grown, a person should not forget their past, their roots, their parents, the teachers who taught them, and the people who helped them. When they achieve success, they should respect all of them. At least they should remember them and honor them when opportunity permits. Moreover, it is very essential to help those in trouble with the lessons learned and to take good care of their people. Instead, as soon as power and wealth come into hand, looking down on fellow human beings is considered foolishness. History teaches many lessons in this regard. If we examine world history, those who behaved with humility remain permanent in history. For example, Ratan Tata, the head of the Tata empire, lived very simply, spending all his wealth for the welfare of society. Abdul Kalam, the beloved son of Bharatmata, even after rising to the highest position as a scientist and the first citizen of the country, spent time very humbly with students and ordinary people until his last breath. People like Duryodhana and Kamsa, who behaved very arrogantly and against this principle, dissolved into the womb of time. Everyone should remember this truth.
If this birth is good, it is the merit you did in your past life. Do it again and again. If you suffer in this birth, it is the sin done in the past life. Understanding that, do good for the coming birth. Anything is yours alone. He who roams the sky must eventually come down to earth. Realize this truth. * Mangalam Bhavatu * Good morning.. Shashibala
